It is a great book -- lots of tidbits about insects

It is a great book, lots of tidbits about insects. Little things you wouldn't know otherwise. The illustrations are funny too. I am an entomologist and it is a great source for presentations, because people are always wanting to know little tidbits about insects. The book has info about SEX and DEATH among the insect world. Dr. Berenbaum is a serious scientist, but this book shows that serious scientists can have a sense of humor too.
